Finals information: week of December 16th
Monday will be a regular day on which students will attend each of their classes as normal. The rest of the week will include two classes/exams taking place each morning, lunch, and intervention time in the afternoon. Intervention time is highly recommended for students who have Dโs or Fโs in any of their classes and provides time for students to work with their teachers in order to complete any assignments or assessments that will significantly impact their grades.
Additional information:
School buses will run at normal times.
Students remaining on campus during intervention time must be in one of the approved locations:
classroom
cafeteria.
If students are unable to take their final exam at the scheduled time, a parent or guardian needs to contact (call or email) the front office to get approval to arrange a different time for the final exam. Students will be responsible for communicating with their teachers for this arrangement.
We understand that Finals week can be a stressful time for students and families alike. Please remember that the TVHS staff is here to provide support, resources, and encouragement. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to our dedicated team of educators and support staff.
Thank you for your continued partnership in the education of our students. We wish each student success during finals week and look forward to celebrating their achievements together.

Thompson Valley National Honor Society is hosting our own TVHS painted hearts similar to Loveland's painted hearts. Hearts will be displayed in the TVHS parking lot mid-January through February. Students and parents/guardians are invited to purchase a heart with a message stenciled on the heart.
Proceeds of the sales go to fund the NHS club and provide an opportunity for NHS to donate to a charity of their choice.
The cost for a heart will be $20 per heart with limited availability. Students can submit payment during lunch in the cafeteria to an NHS member and parents/guardians can submit payment through the attendance office or through their student. If dropping off payment through the attendance office, please submit payment in an envelope marked with "NHS Painted Hearts." Cash or check (Made out to TVHS NHS) is accepted.

Did you know???
December is a deadly month for impaired driving, with Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve being two of the most deadly days of the year. The month serves as a reminder to never drive impaired, whether it's by alcohol or other drugs.

Do you have a graduating senior? Did you know they have the opportunity to keep their Chromebook? If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please read the "How to Accept the Senior Device Request" article on the technology department blog. You may also want to help your student transfer any files or data they want to keep before their account is deleted. Please read the "Google Takeout" article to learn how to do this.

TVHS Community! As an ELO opportunity I will be offering an introduction to sewing class. Students will learn the basics of simple hand sewing and sewing with a machine, measuring for and reading a pattern, sewing seams, using elastic, etc. My goal is to have students be able to create 2 projects, a pair of flannel pajama pants and a chef apron. I am in need of basic donations and this time of year there are great sales happening at fabric stores!:
Flannel fabric for pajamas (1.5 to 3 yard lengths. Each pair of pajamas will take approximately 2.5 to 3 yards, so 1.5 yard would cover 1 leg!)
Lightweight cotton canvas for aprons (1 and 1/3 yard lengths)
Sewing scissors
Pins or quilting clips
Sewing needles and small pin cushions
Marking pens
White thread or neutral colors
1 inch no-roll elastic for waistbands.
Dream list:
extra basic sewing machine (I have access to 2)
cutting mat and rotary cutter
Multiple sizes unisex pajama pants patterns
The group will be small - around 12 maybe 15.
